Well in my opinion i think that's a good idea but i also think that it is a bad idea because not only will there be a massive amount of student graduating which would be good but also since there is such a large amount jobs would either pay less or it would be much harder to get the job because so many people have college education. Unless they plan to make more jobs this is well worth it to improve the economy and such.

I personally believe making college free would be a good thing not only to thousands of people but as whole country. More people are going to attend college than not attend college because they dont have enogh money to pay for it . Then more and more people (high school graduates) achieve more in life and expanding there mind sets to actually become someone important in life. Maybe we will get to see more people opening businesses in the future therefore helping the country as whole.

President Obama had "proposed" in making community college free for millions of high school graduates.For California's largest nation.I personally think that this move that Obama is planning is really going to give many of these high school graduates a big help.This is and can be a chance for these students to attend and be able to go to community colleges.

making colleges free would be a great idea. that way lots of students will go because they wont have to worry about paying anything. college already makes students stressed about their classes so why put more weight on their backs. Obama should have free colleges.

i think its a good idea if college was free because more people would attend college and make there life better and of course,we wont have so much of homeless people on the street like now.

I agree if people know they are able to go to college and wont have to pay many people would want to attend.

i think that if college was free it would take alot of stress off of people because of the expensive things that they have could give people with little money a very hard time.

I believe the cartoon is saying that it's a good thing to be proud about going to college but you also have to stop and think about the cost of going to college also. The news from the article helps a bit with the problem seen in the cartoon because in the article it explains that Obama is planning an making community college free for the needy. In my opinion what Obama is doing is a good thing because now people won't have to worry as much about the funds needed to go to college.

I think Barack Obama idea of free college will be great. but only for certain colleges. I say this because on the picture people who minds are not set for college will be distracted on social networking and not taking school serious. Also there's people who really want there education and no distractions.

I believe that making college free would be good idea because not only will it help people who cant afford higher education, but it well help out the economy to.

I believe that its a good idea for Obama to make this plan of making community college free for some people.There are many people who struggle and worry about paying their fees.The picture shows how there are people who don't care about their college cost and there's people that do, therefore they should see who really needs the help.

I agree with you joycey, there are some people who wpuld really benefit from it. But like you said, some people don't care about education and those people will mosy likely go to a community college just to mess around since they will not have to pay.

The political cartoon above is expressing the fact that college is really expensive. College students have to face the reality of paying for their tuition. Obama's preposition to make community college free is absurd. It will not be free because in order to pay the professors they need to tax the people more. Basically we will be paying in taxes. Also, if obama makes community college free, most people who attend will not take it serious since they are not paying for the classes. On the other hand, some people will take advantage of that and actually attend school since money will not be a problem. This can encourage students to attend college, but will not encourage 100% of them. Either way, the people who need financial help receive it, for example fafsa. The one's that don't need financial help just pay for it. I think community college should stay the way it is right now.

In my opinion I believe that it is a good idea to make community college free/ affordable to people that want to go there. It is a good idea because students that want to go to college and get an education but can not afford to go to a four year college will be able to get an education for free. They won't have to struggle any longer to get a decent education.

i think it would be a great idea because students can save money and stay in school. this can change many people in a positive way a great advantage i don't see no wrong when it comes to education . many students that come from forigen country's will have a great outcome out of this decision.

I believe that making college free would be a good idea because everyone would be able to get advanced knowledge and be successful in the work force.

My interpretation of the cartoon is that although many people go to college some dont pay much attention but the ones that do want to succeed worry about paying for it.

I believe the significance of the political cartoon above is representing the idea of college being very expensive . I think Obama's idea of making community college free is a great idea because it benefits the people who actually want to start somewhere and make better decisions in life. However , I believe this idea has a catch to it . I believe nothing in this world is free. Most people who want to go to community college will not take it serious as to if they were paying to take classes . Maybe community college should just lower the yearly income.

In my opinion, many people go to college but some want to go more than others, but don't have enough money. With the option of going to community college people are more likely to have a higher education because, community college is more more affordable for lower class citizens.

In this picture, I see a guy who isnt too worried about the cost of his education. He is more interested in looking at his facebook. The girl, on the other hand, looks shocked at how much the education actually is. They are standing on a big checkbook because they have to pay a big fee for a college degree. The message is people should be more aware of just how much their education is costing because it may leave you in a lot of debt.
I believe Obama should make college free because it allows people who can not afford school to actually go and as a result it will allow them to find better paying jobs which will help the city as a whole.
